Some words about this album

Timeless masterpiece in metal music what is worth listening still on 2023.

I remember that it took me some time before I learned to love this album, even after the moment I had already found metal music. For some reason or another this didn't felt good for me in my early metal listening times. All changed when the Ensiferum made a Dragonheads EP where they had cover of a song Into Hiding what is originally made by Amorphis and what is on this album. I liked that cover and thought that it was good song and then I had to go and listen again this album and then it was the right time - this album just opened to me totally new way and I listend this probably ten times in repeat. On that moment I just realized that this really is the masterpiece in metal.

Years have gone and this is the album to what I always return. It just rocks. Songs are good, there is nice atmosphere and surprising elements in album what gives a good balance to its heavyness.
